XANADU Stevens Road Chardonnay, Margaret River 2021 Bottle
About this wine
Xanadu Stevens Road Margaret River Chardonnay
Made from just 20 rows of vines (planted nearly 40 years ago) on the Stevens Road vineyard, this great single vineyard Margaret River Chardonnay was the top gold at the 2019 National Wine Show and is consistently one of Margaret River’s most elegant and refined white wines. Handpicked and whole-bunch pressed before going into French barriques (25% new) this is made without any malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine’s freshness and acidity. This has real cut and minerality and, under screwcap, can be cellared and enjoyed over at least a decade after release decade. Around 250 dozen are made so you will need to get in quickly for what is one of Margaret River and Australia’s finest single-vineyard Chardonnays.

XANADU
John Lagan and family established Xanadu in the 1977 naming the property after Samuel Coleridge’s epic Kubla Khan or a Vision in a Dream. During the mid-1980s and 1990s Xanadu created a strong following for its muscular but energetic wines. After a brief interlude as a public company, it is now once more in private hands as part of the Rathbone Wine group. The Rathbone family has instigated a complete revitalisation of vineyard and wine making practise including lowering yields and optimising regional nuance. The 85 ha property is farmed along low input/organic lines and winemaking follows a minimal-intervention philosophy. Under winemaker Glenn Goodall, Xanadu is enjoying a major renaissance.
